The video intertwines five different stories together. The first is of a woman who supposedly drowned her female lover in a pool; the second involves an elderly Central American man who is journeying on an unsuccessful mountain climbing attempt; the third involves the son of a man whose home is invaded by armed robbers; the fourth involves Zedd portraying a liquor store robber who becomes hostile with the management by threatening him with a knife; and the fifth depicts a distraught girl laying down on a railroad. As the song progresses, the video intercuts to scenes of family happiness, good times with friends, dancing and rejoicing before concluding the five stories. The first woman's lover is pulled from the water before drowning, and the ex realizes the gravity of the situation; the old man attempts to climb the mountain and falls, but survives, without reaching the summit; the armed robbery victim's son confronts the hostiles at gunpoint and subdues them; Zedd's character reflects over what sunk him to his current point in life and seems to change his ways; the suicidal girl is missed by the train and reflects on her life and why
This atmospheric cut finds guest vocalist Jon Bellion singing of being with a beautiful woman. Bellion is a songwriter, producer and rapper who has also worked with Eminem (his collaboration with Rihanna "The Monster") and Jason DeRulo ("Trumpets.") Zedd explained his inspiration for the track in a Genius annotation: "I wasn't a very confident kid. I became more confident as I grew older. There is a point in everyone's life when they think they might not be beautiful or are afraid of other people judging them. Everybody has their own sense of what is beautiful and what somebody should look like—what they like, or what they dislike. I am into symmetry. That is my definition of beauty. Not just in people, I also like songs with symmetry. I like art with symmetry. I think the majority of people are beautiful. Victoria Justice is very beautiful."
I see what you're wearing, there's nothing beneath it Forgive me for staring, forgive me for breathing We might not know why, we might not know how But baby, tonight, we're beautiful now We're beautiful now We're beautiful now We might not know why, we might not know how But baby, tonight, we're beautiful now We'll light up the sky, we'll open the clouds 'Cause baby, tonight, we're beautiful now, we're beautiful We're beautiful Wherever it's going, I'm gonna chase it What's left of this moment, I'm not gonna waste it Stranded together, our worlds have collided This won't be forever, so why try to fight it? We're beautiful now We're beautiful now We might not know why, we might not know how But baby, tonight, we're beautiful now We'll light up the sky, we'll open the clouds 'Cause baby, tonight, we're beautiful now, we're beautiful We're beautiful Let's live tonight like fireflies And one by one light up the sky We disappear and pass the crown You're beautiful, you're beautiful We're beautiful now We're beautiful now (beautiful) We're beautiful now We're beautiful now We're beautiful We're beautiful, we're beautiful now We're beautiful now We're beautiful now We're beautiful now We're beautiful now, we're beautiful
